I had my baby shower on Sunday the 28th of October. The last guest went home at around 19:30. I felt really nauseas and had a bad heartburn so I went to bed at 21:15. Got up to pee (as usual) at 22:00. When I got back to bed I had a intense contraction but I have had these during my whole preganancy so I didn’t think too much of it. It was the strongest one though. My spouse made a joke and said “maybe you’re in labor and we need to go to the hospital”. I laughed with him and tried to go back to bed.

I woke up again at 22:30, felt like I had to pee again so I went up. On my way to the bathroom I felt water running down my thighs. It was very little though so I wasn’t sure that the water had broke. I was going back to bed and the water flow increased. Called the hospital and they wanted me to come in for a check up. On our way to the hospital I had a few contractions but nothing more than usual.

I was 1 cm dilated but since I was so “soft”, as my midwife put it, she managed to speed my labor up and opened me to 5 cm with her fingers. This was around 01:30 on Monday morning. We got our own room and I spent about four hours before it was time to push. William was born at 06:51.

I was very calm during the labor and took each second as it came. I didn’t focus on the pain, I focused on my breathing and trying to handle the contractions. I didn’t take any pain reliaf since I didn’t feel the need to.

I hope you had a great Christmas! I got the best Christmas gift ever this year. I still can’t believe that I’m a mom to a litte son… His name is William by the way, I don’t know if I’ve said it already.

Unforunately I’m sick but I had a good Christmas anyway. Really miss blogging but I really don’t have time at the moment. Hopefully it’ll get better!

One week after delivery and my stomach has gone back so much! I’m relaxing my stomach on the right picture, if I engage my stomach the bump is almost not visiable. Didn’t expect it to go back that fast! I’m dropping weight too, probably due to the breastfeeding. I’m actually chocked how fast my body is recovering from the pregnancy.

I had plans on taking a picture of my baby bump each Sunday but in reality I only managed to snap the pictures every two weeks. It’s easier to see the difference in that way though.

My bump didn’t start to show as much until I was in week 24. Even by then it was fairly hard to see it. Since I was very tiny when I got pregnant my bump didn’t really grow that big. Many were surprised to hear that I was so far along in my pregnancy during my final weeks. I loved my bump ♥
